Besides Eiffel, there is currently no commercial language that supports design-by-contract. In this sense, it is language-specific. But it would not be a problem to add programming-by-contract to any OO language. In this sense, it is definitely not language-specific, and it is even in the grey areas between design and code writing. Regads, Joachim
